Hi families! I'm Shayla, an Infant & Early Childhood Care Specialist with 15+ years of experience caring for newborns through teens, with a special passion for the 0-12 month stage. I bring a calm, grounded presence and focus on secure attachment, co-regulation, emotional development, and peaceful daily rhythms where children feel safe, seen, and supported. My approach blends child development knowledge, Montessori principles, and experience with a wide range of children and family dynamics. Qualifications: • Infant/Child CPR & First Aid • Child Development coursework • Baby-led weaning & meal prep • Strong nutrition knowledge • Conversational Spanish • Excellent references As a longtime caregiver and parent, I deeply value trust, communication, and reliability. Rate: $30-35/hr depending on scope and guaranteed hours. Availability: Monday-Friday, primarily afternoons, but open to discussing the right fit. I look forward to connecting!
Shayla has been a caring and kind presence for our family! She worked with me to help get our baby used to taking a bottle during my working hours and supported us in trying to establish a consistent schedule, which I appreciated. She was also great with my toddler, who absolutely loved her and always wanted to play with Shayla. It was wonderful to see how easily she connected with him and kept him engaged. We appreciated Shayla’s help and would recommend her to other families.
